Smiling (Quirky Race Doc) Open Mike Eagle + Paul White

[Hook]
It's all fine and dandy when the show starts
Before then, avoided like a ghost fart
I get "what up"s and nods, but for the most part
Nobody smiles at me, 'cause I'm a Black man
Until the show starts
Before then, avoided like a ghost fart
I get "what up"s and nods, but for the most part
Nobody smiles at me, 'cause I'm a Black man

[Verse 1]
I know full well, every white's not a racist
But every Black man's not a sex-crazed rapist
I was good in the hood, in college I was ruined
While walking, I assumed you acknowledge the other humans
Try to walk big, with my chin bone lifted up
Overcompensating like I really don't give a fuck
Today I saw a lady say hi to a stranger
Then avoid my eyes like I'm a white-person strangler
Walking past voters in a democratic blocks
That hit the windows and the automatic locks
If not reparations, give me free Black therapy
And tell people you're scared of them—it makes them act scarily
I don't want you, your purse, or your pocketbook
Them dumb yoga pants, boots, or fur with the octopus
Trust, I'm not trying to polish your toes
Take your wallet and phone, or follow you home
